- The course aims at providing students with the necessary competences to evaluate the load bearing capacity and the deformation capacity of structural elements and structures with specific reference to design aspects. The students will acquire the needed skills to critically evaluate and design in relation to Interior Design, Exhibit Design, Retail Design or Product Design.
- Prerequisites
- Having attended with success the course of "Structural shapes for design" is a prerequisite for this course.
- Teaching methods
- The course is organized in face-to-face lectures. Moreover, in some cases active learning approaches such as flipped-classroom, learning-by-doing and think-aloud will be used.
- Learning verification modality
- The examination consists of the presentation of a practical design that the students may carry out in group or individually on a topic selected during the year. The presentation will be based on the use of tools (such as drawings, videos, digital or physical models, and more) that will be freely chosen by the students. The focus of the design shall be on structural aspects. The practical design excercise will act as the basis of a discussion with the Committee.
- Extended program
- Elements of statics and kinematics of structures. Elements on equilibrium of rigid bodies and kinematics of articulated systems. Elements on internal actions in structures and to the load bearing mechanisms under vertical and lateral loads. Mechanical behavior of materials and structures: deformation, strength and ductility. Materials and structural elements for architectural design, interior design and industrial design: concrete, steel, aluminum, wood, masonry, glass, composite materials. Additive manufacturing in industrial design. Elements of architectural and construction technologies: reinforced concrete structures, steel structures, moment resisting frames, braced frames. Elements of technologies of industrial products.
